Dual Programs

Pharm.D./MBA

Please check back for updates on the Pharm.D./MBA dual degree program.

Pharm.D./Ph.D. in Pharmacology or Pharmaceutics

Please note: Due to the additional academic and/or research commitment required of students, the college REQUIRES applicants to have successfully completed the first year (P1) of the Pharm.D. curriculum before being considered for admission into the Pharm.D./Ph.D. program.

The Pharm.D./Ph.D. program is designed for the highly motivated and qualified individuals who are seeking an integrated program in the clinical and basic sciences preparing them for a career in academics or research. By carefully structuring the dual degree program on a year-round basis, it is possible to complete the requirements of both the Doctor of Pharmacy and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in seven years. Only a select few students will be able to meet the rigors and demands of such an academic endeavor. The degree program complements and not supplants the existing Pharm.D. and Ph.D. programs.

The Pharm.D./Ph.D. program is not a new curriculum per se; but rather a restructured program flexible enough for serving a combined purpose. The restructuring allows a student to complete both degree requirements in a shorter duration of time as opposed to entering each degree program (Pharm.D., followed by Ph.D.) successively. Furthermore, a dual degree program is focused in that it flows in a more clearly defined pathway than the traditional two separate pathways.
